Item 184 Cross-institutional collaborations for health equity research at a CTSA(Cambridge University Press, 2022-04-19) Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Ramirez, Mirian; Dolan, Levi; Hunt, Joe D.; Ruth Lilly Medical Library, School of MedicineOBJECTIVES/GOALS: We were interested in health equity research for each CTSA-affiliated institution, specifically focusing on cross department and cross-campus co-authorship. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of our CTSA-funded papers relating to diversity and inclusion to identify cross department and cross-campus collaborations. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We worked with our CTSAs Racial Justice, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force to conduct an environmental scan of diversity and inclusion research across our CTSA partner institutions. Using the Scopus database, searches were constructed to identify and retrieve the variety of affiliations for each of the CTSA authors, a health equity/health disparities search hedge, and all of our CTSA grant numbers. We limited the dates from the beginning of our CTSA in 2008-November 2021. We used PubMed to retrieve all MeSH terms for the articles. We used Excel to analyze the data, Python and NCBIs Entrez Programming Utilities to analyze MeSH terms, and VOSviewer to produce the visualizations. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The results of this search yielded 94 articles overall. We broke these up into subsets (not mutually exclusive) to represent five of the researcher groups across our CTSA. We analyzed the overall dataset for citation count, normalized citation count, CTSA average authors, gender trends, and co-term analysis. We also developed cross department co-authorship maps and cross-institutional/group co-authorship maps. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This poster will demonstrate both the current areas where cross-departmental and cross-institutional collaboration exists among our CTSA authors, as well as identify potential existing areas for collaboration to occur. These findings may determine areas our CTSA can support to improve institutional performance in addressing health equity.Item Analysis of Public Preprint Server Comments on NIH Preprint Pilot Articles(2022-05-04) Sawyer, Amanda; Cruise, Allison; Dolan, Levi; Chatmon, BriannaObjectives: Given the increased prevalence of preprints during the COVID-19 pandemic, this project sought to analyze public comments left on a sample of preprint articles from the NIH Preprint Pilot to determine if they were substantive in nature. Analysis of article titles and qualitative coding of the comments was conducted. This analysis was designed to obtain both quantitative and qualitative measures of comments on a selected group of articles so that the relationship between public commenting and scientific rigor could be explored. Methods: The first 1,000 preprint articles to be indexed in PubMed Central and hosted on two preprint platforms (bioRxiv and medRxiv) were selected. Using the preprint servers’ associated commenting platforms, full text comment threads and Twitter information was obtained, and summary statistics of commenting platforms were produced. From the article sample a total of 494 comments were collected from public commenters using the Disqus platform to provide feedback on the articles. Using the article titles, the authors explored indications of the relationship between article topic and frequency of commenter engagement. Preliminary coding was conducted using a ‘thumbs up/thumbs down’ method and potential categorizations were suggested. Utilizing these suggestions, the authors created and refined a draft codebook. Finally, thirteen categorizations, ten for substantive comments and three for not substantive comments, were created and used to qualitatively code the comment sample. Results: Two rounds of coding were completed to reach sufficient interrater reliability. The authors found that most of the public comments were substantive, with over 28% meeting the criteria for critique, 21.5% as questions for authors, and over 11% having aspects of a formal peer review process. The analysis revealed engagement between commenters and preprint authors, demonstrated through author responses to questions, updates, and feedback. Commenters also provided suggestions for future research (3.6%) and indicated their intent to utilize the preprint findings in future research projects of their own (2.6%). Conclusions: This project provides evidence of the impact of public commenting on scientific rigor. Public commenting was frequently substantive, and provided critique which sometimes led to direct revisions of the preprint article. Commenters also provided responses similar in nature to the formal peer review process, providing authors with feedback faster than the traditional process. Through preprints authors can disseminate their research to a wide audience earlier, and comments indicated that some readers intended to use the preprint findings in their own research, accelerating the potential for scientific discovery. As the prevalence of preprints continues to grow and public engagement with preprints increases, this paper’s methodology can be replicated and refined to further analyze the value of public commenting on preprints.Item Asking Data Analysis Questions with PandasAI(2023-11-08) Dolan, LeviAs easily accessible AI models have increased in visibility, one area of interest for those working with datasets programmatically is how AI might streamline common data analysis tasks. The recently-released PandasAI library is a Python library that connects to an OpenAI model (known for ChatGPT) and allows users to ask natural language-style questions about dataframes created in Pandas syntax. This lightning talk demonstrates how to start exploring this data analysis method using sample World Bank and World Happiness Report data. Potential limitations are also discussed.Item Assessment of Service Desk Quality at an Academic Health Sciences Library(Taylor & Francis, 2016) Blevins, Amy E.; DeBerg, Jen; Kiscaden, Elizabeth; Ruth Lilly Medical LibraryDue to an identified need for formal assessment, a small team of librarians designed and administered a survey to gauge the quality of customer service at their academic health sciences library. Though results did not drive major changes to services, several important improvements were implemented and a process was established to serve as a foundation for future use. This article details the assessment process used and lessons learned during the project.Item Association of Checklist Use in Endotracheal Intubation With Clinically Important Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis(American Medical Association, 2020-07-01) Turner, Joseph S.; Bucca, Antonino W.; Propst, Steven L.; Ellender, Timothy J.; Sarmiento, Elisa J.; Menard, Laura M.; Hunter, Benton R.; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineImportance: The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene and lower apolipoprotein E (apoE) protein levels in plasma are risk factors for Alzheimer disease, but the underlying biological mechanisms are not fully understood. Half of plasma apoE circulates on high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). Higher apoE levels in plasma HDL were previously found to be associated with lower coronary heart disease risk, but the coexistence of another apolipoprotein, apoC3, modified this lower risk. Objective: To investigate associations between the presence of apoE in different lipoproteins with cognitive function, particularly the risk of dementia. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective case-cohort study embedded in the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory Study (2000-2008) analyzed data from 1351 community-dwelling participants 74 years and older. Of this group, 995 participants were free of dementia at baseline (recruited from September 2000 to June 2002) and 521 participants were diagnosed with incident dementia during follow-up until 2008. Data analysis was performed from January 2018 to December 2019. Exposures: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay–measured concentration of apoE in whole plasma, HDL-depleted plasma (non-HDL), HDL, and HDL subspecies that contain or lack apoC3 or apoJ. Main Outcomes and Measures: Adjusted hazard ratios for risk of dementia and Alzheimer disease during follow-up and adjusted differences (β coefficients) in Alzheimer Disease Assessment–Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog) and Modified Mini-Mental State Examination scores at baseline. Results: Among 1351 participants, the median (interquartile range) age was 78 (76-81) years; 639 (47.3%) were women. The median (interquartile range) follow-up time was 5.9 (3.7-6.5) years. Higher whole plasma apoE levels and higher apoE levels in HDL were associated with better cognitive function assessed by ADAS-cog (whole plasma, β coefficient, −0.15; 95% CI, −0.24 to −0.06; HDL, β coefficient, −0.20; 95% CI, −0.30 to −0.10) but were unassociated with dementia or Alzheimer disease risk. When separated by apoC3, a higher apoE level in HDL that lacks apoC3 was associated with better cognitive function (ADAS-cog per SD: β coefficient, 0.17; 95% CI, −0.27 to −0.07; Modified Mini-Mental State Examination score per SD: β coefficient, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.42) and lower risk of dementia (hazard ratio per SD, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.99). In contrast, apoE levels in HDL that contains apoC3 were unassociated with any of these outcomes. Conclusions and Relevance: In a prospective cohort of older adults with rigorous follow-up of dementia, the apoE level in HDL that lacked apoC3 was associated with better cognitive function and lower dementia risk. This finding suggests that the cardioprotective associations of this novel lipoprotein extend to dementia.Item Association of Extubation Failure Rates With High-Flow Nasal Cannula, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure vs Conventional Oxygen Therapy in Infants and Young Children: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis(American Medical Association, 2023-06-05) Iyer, Narayan Prabhu; Rotta, Alexandre T.; Essouri, Sandrine; Fioretto, Jose Roberto; Craven, Hannah J.; Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Ramnarayan, Padmanabhan; Abu-Sultaneh, Samer; Khemani, Robinder G.IMPORTANCE: Extubation failure (EF) has been associated with worse outcomes in critically ill children. The relative efficacy of different modes of noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) to prevent EF is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To study the reported relative efficacy of different modes of NRS (high-flow nasal cannula [HFNC], continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP], and bilevel positive airway pressure [BiPAP]) compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT). DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL Complete through May 2022. STUDY SELECTION: Randomized clinical trials that enrolled critically ill children receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours and compared the efficacy of different modes of postextubation NRS. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Random-effects models were fit using a bayesian network meta-analysis framework. Between-group comparisons were estimated using odds ratios (ORs) or mean differences with 95% credible intervals (CrIs). Treatment rankings were assessed by rank probabilities and the surface under the cumulative rank curve (SUCRA). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was EF (reintubation within 48 to 72 hours). Secondary outcomes were treatment failure (TF, reintubation plus NRS escalation or crossover to another NRS mode), pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) mortality, PICU and hospital length of stay, abdominal distension, and nasal injury. RESULTS: A total of 11 615 citations were screened, and 9 randomized clinical trials with a total of 1421 participants were included. Both CPAP and HFNC were found to be more effective than COT in reducing EF and TF (CPAP: OR for EF, 0.43; 95% CrI, 0.17-1.0 and OR for TF 0.27, 95% CrI 0.11-0.57 and HFNC: OR for EF, 0.64; 95% CrI, 0.24-1.0 and OR for TF, 0.34; 95% CrI, 0.16- 0.65). CPAP had the highest likelihood of being the best intervention for both EF (SUCRA, 0.83) and TF (SUCRA, 0.91). Although not statistically significant, BiPAP was likely to be better than COT for preventing both EF and TF. Compared to COT, CPAP and BiPAP were reported as showing a modest increase (approximately 3%) in nasal injury and abdominal distension. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The studies included in this systematic review and network meta-analysis found that compared with COT, EF and TF rates were lower with modest increases in abdominal distension and nasal injury. Of the modes evaluated, CPAP was associated with the lowest rates of EF and TF.Item Augmented Reality in Medical Education and Training(Taylor & Francis, 2016) Herron, Jennifer; Ruth Lilly Medical LibraryAugmented reality, while not necessarily a new technology, is becoming more well-known and gaining some momentum in medical education through Google Glass and Microsoft’s HoloLens. Not only can augmented reality aid in student education, but it also can impact patient care through its ability to enhance medical training. Medical libraries can partake in this new endeavor by being aware of applications in augmented reality that can benefit students and educators.Item Authorship Trends in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research: A Bibliometric Analysis(Wiley, 2018) Seetharam, Abhijit; Ali, Mohammed T.; Wang, Christine Y.; Schultz, Katherine E.; Fischer, James P.; Lunsford, Shatoria; Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Loder, Randall T.; Kacena, Melissa A.; Orthopaedic Surgery, School of MedicinePublications are an important tool to measure one's success and achievement in academia. They can help propel a career forward and move one into a position of leadership. The overall purpose of this study was to investigate changes in bibliometric variables, authorship, and collaboration trends in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research (JOR®), since its inception in 1983. A bibliometric analysis was completed for all manuscripts meeting the inclusion criteria (638), which were published throughout the inaugural year plus one representative year of each decade. Several parameters were investigated including numbers of manuscripts, authors, collaborating institutions/countries, references, pages, and citations; region of origin and gender of authors over time and by region were main focuses. Significant increases over time were observed in all bibliometric variables analyzed except in the number of pages and citations. There was an approximate 27 percentage point increase for both female first and corresponding authors from 1983 to 2015. While this is most likely due to the increase in the number of women that have entered the field over time, similar increases in the percentage of women holding positions on the JOR editorial board or in leadership positions within in the field may have also contributed to improvements in gender parity. Understanding changes in publishing characteristics over time, by region, and by gender are critical, especially with the rising demands of publishing in academia. JOR has seen increase in most variables analyzed, including improvements in authorship by women in the field of orthopaedic research.Item Authorship Trends Over the Past 30-Years in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering(Springer, 2019-05) Aguilar, Izath Nizeet; Ganesh, Venkateswaran; Mannfeld, Rachel; Gorden, Riley; Hatch, Jennifer M.; Lunsford, Shatoria; Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Loder, Randall T.; Kacena, Melissa A.; Orthopaedic Surgery, School of MedicineIn academia, manuscripts serve as an important component of career development. The past several years have seen heightened evaluation of the role of the gender gap in career advancement, as well as other bibliometric changes in publications. We therefore analyzed authorship and publication trends in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering over the past three decades (one complete year of manuscripts for each decade; 1986, 1996, 2006, and 2016). The variables analyzed were number of authors per manuscript, numerical position of the corresponding author, number of collaborating institutions and countries, number of references, and number of citations per manuscript. The gender of both the first and corresponding authors was identified and analyzed over time and by region. Globally, the percentage of female first and corresponding authors significantly increased from 0% in 1986 to 28.6% (p = 0.003) and 20.4% (p = 0.0009), respectively, in 2016. Although there were significant differences regarding female first and corresponding author over time, they did not vary by region of origin (p = 0.5 and 0.2, respectively). Overall, these findings highlight the improvements made and the challenges that still exist related to publishing within the bioengineering field.Item Automatic Export of PubMed Citations to EndNote(http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02763861003723317#.UnARCCQ2-CY, 2010-04) London, Sue; Gurdal, Osman; Gall, CaroleThe export of MEDLINE references to EndNote can be accomplished in various ways. Unlike Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed does not have a direct export feature to EndNote. Until recently, PubMed references had to be saved as a text file to import into EndNote. Now, the automatic export of PubMed references can be done using Internet Explorer (IE) or Mozilla Firefox Web browsers. The development and teaching of seamless citation management is a value-added service to health professionals.
